THE CLASSIC MR. A

Hurd Hatfield in The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945, dir. Albert Lewin)
“How sad it is! I shall grow old, and horrid, and dreadful. But this picture will remain always young. It will never be older than this particular day of June…If it was only the other way! If it was I who were to be always young, and the picture that were to grow old! For this—for this—I would give everything! Yes, there is nothing in the whole world I would not give!”
-Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
